Comment:

 I don't find the system files use case compelling enough to make a change.
 I'm worried that FindFirstFile may have its own set of problems, such as
 impacting performance in large directories where the file does not exist.
 The motivation is too weak to invest the time to test the implications of
 such a change.

 Thanks for your interest in Boost.Filesystem,
